EXPOSURE Exposure is the total light being captured
EXPOSURE Exposure is the total light being captured by each frame. • Determines the appearance of tones and colors in your shot. • Affects the amount of detail visible in the shadow and highlight regions 1
EXPOSURE EXAMPLES under correct over 2
EXPOSURE IS: f-stop (iris) shutter speed (frame rate) product of the intensity of the light as interpreted by: filters (ND or other) iso (speed) 3
LIGHT METERS Light meters measure intensity and calculate f-stop & shutter speed • Incident meters measure light falling on an object • Spot/reflectance meters measure light reflected from an object 4
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 1 Set the ISO (speed) in the small window in the center circle 5
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 2 Hold the light meter next to your subject, and point the white dome directly towards the camera lens 6
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 3 Press the silver button in the middle and release to measure the intensity of light, indicated by the red needle in foot-candles (fc) 7
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 4 Adjust to outer dial until the black triangle points at the measured intensity 8
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 5 Read the inner ring to find your desired shutter-speed, and the outer ring to find the corresponding f-stop 9
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 6 Make these adjustments on your camera to obtain proper exposure 10
SEKONIC INCIDENT METER STEP 7 Repeat steps 2 -6 for every new setup or lighting change. If bright, use the high-slide and read intensity from the red triangle (with an “H”) 11
